Inflation Protection: Pensions will be indexed to inflation! Dearness Relief will be based on the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (AICPI-IW), as in case of serving employees.
Under the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS), pensions are protected against inflation through indexation, ensuring that pension amounts increase in line with the cost of living. This adjustment, known as Dearness Relief, is calculated based on the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (AICPI-IW), similar to the provisions for current government employees.
